How would you measure livability? 1. How would you define livability? Livability means living well. A city, in order to be a livable city, should offer: financial stability, safety, health plans for everyone, education, a functional public or particular transportation, a good sense of neighborhood or society and political stability. 2. If you need to define livability with the following terms, how would you rank them? (1: most important - 7: least important) Ranking: 1. Opportunity 2. Health 3. Housing 4. Transportation 5. Neighborhood 6. Environment 7. Engagemen 3. Choose three cities in the United States 4. Have a look at the livability scores. How high is the livability score of every city? Please note the scores of this question in a table like the one below. 5. How much has the livability score of every city changed? Please note the scores of this question in a table like the one below. City Livability score Customized livability score Change (+/-) Miami 52 53 +1 New York 62 63 +1 Orlando 48 46 -2 6. Can you explain the change in livability scores of your cities? Do this on basis of the terms in your ranking. Opportunity is very important to me, because without it, you can´t get a decent education or job. And at the end of the day, you pay the bills with what you earn. I also have health and housing in the top 3. Last but not least, I put engagement, because I think that depends more in the personality of the individual.
